2018 Holiday Advent Calendar Unveiling: December 2
We’re onto day #2! And I know i’m posting this super late today, but Momma’s been busy :)
Merry Christmas everyone! Below are my two last videos of SSAC2018, thanks for following along. Keep an eye on my twitter account for a chance to win my copy of the advent calendar!
It will come as no surprise to anyone that I’m counting down the days until Wordfest 2017. For my most recent trip into the CBC Studios, I gave my ‘insider’ suggestions of which authors to take in while attending Wordfest this year, as well as getting in a little promo to the event I’ll be…
Last year I reviewed the three latest releases from Biblioasis’ Haunted Bookshelf Series, a set of pocket-sized ghost stories meant to be enjoyed on Christmas Eve, as per an old tradition. I loved them, and really enjoyed the whole concept of reading ghost stories for the holidays ( I appreciate a good scare any time…
So I typically create a post at the beginning of each year listing the books I read the previous year. Since I started doing this, I’ve realized this is probably one of the most boring posts I write so I’ve added a few things to ‘spice up’ this year’s list. I won’t stop writing out…

Get your husband to focus for you, or have him sit where you will sit and you can focus, and THEN do your video. That might help with the shifting focus! If you’re not sure, Google your camera brand and the year it was made for help.
Ok this is very helpful!!! I will try this for tomorrow’s video :)
And yes, sometimes I am thinking of you guys watching haha
😘
It’s much nicer in the H&O collection, but here is the/a link for story 2 from the Short Story Advent Calendar 2018: http://thecollagist.com/the-collagist/2015/10/6/slower.html
Thanks Cathy!
Sounds a bit depressing – thank goodness you have the chocolate on hand to restore your joie de vivre! I like the look of that one – does it have a filling?
Yes! The 3D ones have ganache fillings, and they are delish!
Oh that does sound sad. I know anything with kids hits me much harder now than it did before I had one.
me too! It’s terrible actually
